Can I drive a rented motorbike into Cambodia? I have a Philippine driving license that according to what I've read should be valid in all ASEAN countries, also according to the renter of the bike.

Thanks

Any recommendations on a motorbike rental place that I can rent a Yamaha NMax in very good condition? Something that is maybe less than 2 years old and hasn't been completely beat up.

I'm certainly willing to pay a significant premium to find a late model and excellent condition motorbike but it seems like the rental stores that I've gone to have stuff that's pretty rough.

Update: looking for this motorbike in Bangkok.

Hi,

I want to travel to other countries in Asia, and be able to legally rent a motorbike. So, I want to get a motorbike license. Since the Thailand 2 year license is not able to issue IDP(?), this rules Thailand out. What other country could i travel to short term and get a license fairly easily?

Info:

* If it matters, i have a car license from home country since 10+ years.

* Must be able to issue IDP for the motorbike license.

* Must be able to get the license on a tourist visa. Preferably i fly in, spend a week or two there to get everything done. Fly out.

* Bonus points if its also convertible to a 5 year license back in thailand.

What are my options?

And thanks a lot, this community is always helpful.
